Manko Loss Diaries: Origin Story 🔴

1/10 In 2018 I bought 1 Bitcoin at around $10,000.

I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. No research, no plan. Just friends telling me this was the thing to get into.

This is the story of how I turned that into nothing. And everything I learned from it.

@LevisNFT Undervalued af.

@ObamaMalik @Cobratate Pamp it

@adiix_official I can tell you what works. I built a bot and inverted these signals. Haha

[Manko @TheRealManko]

I'm not saying it's a scam, I just say that after 1-2 months of building the same bots, I copied the posts and created bots with Cursor. I can just warn people not to follow blindly or copy trade. You have worse entries, slippage, and fees. I tried to copy trade lots of these posts and every trade was a loss!

@defileo Lmao “met this guy” stories again. Meanwhile my Polymarket bots all died to slippage & fees. Only my TG scraper works. These 1-night moon claims are pure cap.

@0xFrogify Check my post. Going from 50 to 30k is delusional. It's clickbait and federal farming. I can tell after working on 10x bots in 1 month. It's impossible.

After almost a full month grinding Polymarket bots while my timeline was flooded with nothing but bot posts and referral farming...

Most of them still ate dust. Slippage + fees killed the edge on every setup I tested. Prediction market liquidity isn't as bot-friendly as it looked.

The only one still quietly working? My Telegram call channel scraper for meme plays.

Might circle back to trading memes soon, but definitely not manual — I still suck at the timing 😂 For now, leaning on the scraper.

Anyone else get rekt trying to bot Polymarket, or got a solid TG scraper that's actually profitable long-term?

@renzosalpha Means? DCA or sell? I think it has potential mid term.

[Manko @TheRealManko]

@AleiahLock Unrealistic. Referral farming.

[Manko @TheRealManko]

@ApeIsLive Hahahaa.

@CultOfRAM900 I like it. Italian Brainrot style. 😍

@adiix_official I tried to copy him. Lost everything. Don’t fall for this referral farming.

Yo, here’s how I built a 24/7 Telegram bot that automatically snipes KOL calls on Solana… so I stop missing massive Xes while sleeping, parenting, or living life.

No more waking up to see a call already 8x higher and buying late (like I did one day before the bot was ready — still ended up profitable, but the original entry would’ve been a clean 50x).

Not financial advice. Just vibes + code.

The problem in one sentence:
I wanted my favorite KOLs to drop a mint → bot buys early, handles TP/SL, and I don’t have to babysit the screen 24/7.

How I built it:
Started with a strong spec prompt (Grok helped) — multi-channel Telegram listener, smart parsing for mints/calls, Jupiter buy/sell, TP/SL engine with persistence, logs, dedupe, retries + safety. Good prompt = half the battle.

Grabbed a cheap Linux VPS from Hetzner so the bot stays awake even when I don’t. SSH, firewall, updates, decent RAM.

Got api_id + api_hash from Telegram dev tools. Used Telethon with a user session so it can read the same channels I’m in.

Set up a dedicated hot wallet (private key locked down) + solid Solana RPC (private is smoother). Only money I’m cool losing.

Built the code with Cursor as my co-pilot. Clean modules: Listener, Parser, Jupiter swap client, Position + TP/SL manager, and systemd service.

Tested on real channels — edits, reposts, spam threads, timing issues. Most bugs were parsing/timing, not Jupiter magic.

Added proper risk controls: fixed buy size per KOL/channel, dedupe (no rebuying the same coin forever), auto-retries on sells, and TP/SL rules so I don’t wake up panic-selling at 3am.

Made it a true 24/7 service with systemd — starts on boot, auto-restarts on crash, proper logs.

How I run it now: bot wallet = execution only, I don’t manually trade the same coins, and I check logs weekly instead of every candle.

Real talk:
That “sleep tax” was killing me. Automation finally removed the FOMO and late entries.

Honest expectations:
The bot won’t print money by itself. But it removes emotion, missed calls when you’re offline, and gives you faster entries + disciplined exits.

Want to build your own?

Exact flow:
Grok prompt → Hetzner VPS → Telegram API keys → Cursor build → real testing → systemd → risk rules → live.

@Lummox_eth I have found a way. I told code/cursor to invert. Haha
